Logging Keto Macros On Fitbit: A Step-By-Step Guide

The Fitbit app has a food logging feature that can help you track your keto macros. To find the macronutrient screen in your Fitbit app, tap the food tile on your dashboard and then swipe left on the graph at the top of the screen. You can also use third-party apps such as Carb Manager, which can be synced with your Fitbit account to share wellness data.

How to find the macronutrient screen on the Fitbit app

To find the macronutrient screen on the Fitbit app, first, tap the food tile on your dashboard. This can be found on the "Today" tab in the app. From there, swipe left on the graph at the top of the screen.

If you've been logging your food, you'll then be able to see a breakdown of your macro intake over the past week. You can tap the top right of the graph to expand it and can then dive deeper into a specific day or take a look at the past month instead.

How to manually log food on the Fitbit app

Logging your meals is a great way to help you reach your health and weight goals. To manually log food on the Fitbit app, follow these steps:

• From the "Today" tab in the Fitbit app, tap the "Food" icon.
• Search for your food or create a custom food entry. You can also use the barcode scanner by tapping the barcode icon and placing your item's barcode in the scanning area.
• Enter the amount of food consumed and tap "Log".
• Adjust the quantity if needed and tap "Log" again.

• Commit to logging your meals for at least a week, including one weekend day, to get an accurate assessment of your eating habits.
• Learn the shortcuts: use the plus button on your dashboard to log food or scan barcodes.
• Input your favourite foods once. The first few days are the most tedious, but it gets easier as the app starts suggesting frequent and recent foods.
• Log your meals as you eat them. If you don't have time, take a photo as a reminder. You can also set silent alarms or personal reminders to log your meals regularly.
• Plan ahead by logging your meals beforehand. This makes it easier to stick to your healthy eating plan.
• Pay attention to portion sizes. Use measuring cups and spoons, or invest in a kitchen scale, to get an accurate idea of how much you're consuming.
• Be honest and log every item you consume, no matter how small. This includes the milk in your coffee or a half-eaten cupcake!
• Look for patterns in your eating habits. For example, do you tend to eat something every time you walk into the kitchen? Identifying these patterns can help you develop strategies to make healthier choices.

How to use the barcode scanner to log food on the Fitbit app

To use the barcode scanner to log food on the Fitbit app, follow these steps:

• Go to the main page of the app.
• Tap on the food icon.
• Tap on the barcode icon next to the space where you enter the food.
• Place your item's entire barcode in the scanning area.
• If your item is in the database, you'll see a summary. If not, you'll have the option to submit it.
• Adjust the quantity and tap "Log".

Please note that barcode scanning is currently only available for customers using the United States food database. If you use another food database, the barcode scanning option won't work. To check which food database you're using, see "How do I change my food database?" in the Fitbit Help Center.
